ABSTRACT:
A lock, particularly adapted for use with the gate of a woven-wire partition, includes a housing having a faceplate, a wall projecting from the faceplate and substantially surrounding the interior of the housing, and a removable cover for closing the housing. A stationary bracket is located within the housing, and a latch is movable with respect to the housing between latched and unlatched positions, in response to operation of manually-manipulable means, such as a key-operable lock cylinder or a hand-operable fingerpiece. A member within the housing is cooperable with the stationary bracket for preventing movement of the latch in a direction transverse to the plane of the faceplate, so as to prevent the latch from accidentally falling out of the housing when the housing cover is removed and the housing is open. A spring within the housing serves two functions, namely, constantly urging the latch toward its unlatched position, and maintaining cooperation between the member and the bracket.
